MacKeeper is NOT trusworthy. Use the "More like this" link to your right to see ongoing MacKeeper threads, and you'll see tons of people hate it and why.

Bottom line: Steer clear of MacKeeper.

Avoid it like the plague. The creator even sabotages his "removal instructions" to leave a small piece that continues to issue a popup after removal that tells yo uto re-install.

Only ClamXav is recommended by this forum, if you really feel the need to use anything.

Mackeeper is an invention of the Devil designed to take your money now, do naught, and take your money later after it poops on your computer and causes all sorts of troubles requiring yet more for-pay help.

Stay away.
